COMPETITIONS
IN THIS EDITION Senwes Group Chief
Executive Officer, Francois Strydom,
and the Chief Executive Officer of
ZARX, Etienne Nel, appear on the
front page. The photo was taken
during a gala event when Senwes
and Senwesbel became the first
companies to list on South Africa's
first additional stock exchange in
February.
In this edition we also feature the
usual Nampo articles and we focus
on Toit Wessels, who will be the chief
organiser of Nampo for the first time
this year. We also report on all the
new events at Nampo in 2017, while
they take on the next 50 years. We
also feature the complete ladies pro-
gramme in this edition, which makes
a comeback at the agricultural show
after an absence of a few years.
Viljoenskroon stalwart producer Paul
Maré is in the limelight. Read about
this and much more in the April/May
edition of Senwes Scenario.
